FF9.0.1 installed. I type a word into the google search bar and get results. When I select "shopping" from the left nav, it flashes the results and then instantly refreshes to a white page with this at the top: (function(){})();(function(){})();

The same thing happens if I click "News" and "Videos" from that nav. However, if I click "Images" and "Maps" it works fine and loads the corresponding Google search results. The url below was a search for "test"

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
